Vintage 1960s Jovial Swiss 21J Hand Wind Gold Plated Silver Dial 34mm Watch Box

About this watch

A classic mid-century Jovial gentleman's dress watch: a rose-gold-tone plated round case with a stainless steel screw-down back, a domed crystal and a silver sunburst dial. The dial has applied gold Arabic 12, 3, 6 and 9, faceted gold wedge markers with dot minute points, the winged "J" Jovial emblem, gold dauphine hands and a small seconds subdial at 6 beneath a red "21 Jewels" print. "T Swiss Made T" at the base of the dial dates it to the 1960s. Presented on a black lizard-grain leather strap and supplied in a Jovial presentation box.
